Another abs light 2002 yukon xl


Recommended Posts

Posted

On my 2002 Yukon XL only the brake warning light comes on steady when driving.

No ABS light, not even at start up, anyone have an idea why that is?

The 60 amp fuse is OK, the brake pedal fells spongy, not checked the actual ABS system yet.

Had the cluster apart to the point it didn´t feel safe anymore, I didn´t see a light bulb behind the ABS sign in the cluster.

Can I take it apart further than that, or am I beyond repairing at that point then?

 

Oh eh, I´m in Sweden Europe, so no go with o´reillys, autozone or napa referrals, thanks, it´s a bit to far for me... :nonod:

Is there a chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, or Vauxhall dealership?

Well, there is, but they charge you for the least of stuff.

Even a simple reading of abs codes will cost you 300 US...

I think i will just have to get me a abs code reader first to see where I am with this.

i think the old paper clip won´t do like it did on my prev. 1991 Corvette I had a few years ago.

I have an autoXray EZ 6000, but it won´t read ABS.

It´s so strange, since all posts are about the brake warning AND the ABS light being on at the same time, but my ABS light doesnt even light up at just turning the key to on position.

A good code reader will be at lest $200 USD. If you go that route do the research on them and find one that does engine, ABS and Airbag codes if possible. With a spongy pedal it doesnt hurt to go ahead and bleed the brakes to make sure there is no air in the lines.

I think this is not to bad, including shipping+import charges to Sweden it´s 151 USD.

I also thought about bleeding the brakes might help, the reservoir is not on low, so you would think there is no leak at least.

I´ll think it over a bit and see what I´ll do.

Any idea if the bulb for the ABS is replaceable, or are they soldered on the board?

They are soldered. Bleeding the brakes won't hurt anything and takes less than an hour to do in the driveway.

Well, I have finally replaced a number of bulbs.

All 6 illum. bulbs, and all from 4wd on the left, to the belts on the right.

Blinkers, high beam, tow/haul still worked.

Info panel on the left also works, since it started warning for change oil right after I changed the oil...

I´m sure there is a procedure for it to reset, just haven´t found/bothered for it yet.

No way to check all the bulbs at once other than a multimeter?

Brake/park light is lit constant after turning on ignition or starting the engine.

Same starts blinking when engaging the parking brake.

I have one ABS code, history C0265, wich is pretty common after what I have found on the different truckforums.

Erased the code, turned off/on the ignition without starting, and it returns as a current/historic code.

Either the bulb is broken (new), or something else is freaky here, I found a way to fix the code (not done yet), remove part of the ebcm under the car, redo some solder points fixed.

I just wonder what else could cause the abs light not to work when it is supposed to (since I still have the fault code).

    • I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
